Trap Vinyasa is an inclusive, body positive yogic experience that combines asana with dance and basic boxing elements all guided by trap music, a drum-based genre of rap originating from the south. You may have heard of trap yoga popping up around the city but unlike the fad, Trap Vinyasa is a practice I've been cultivating for years. Our practice isn't about twerking (although we do shake a tail feather), classes are rooted in the traditional teachings of self awareness and promote body positivity through liberated movement. In addition, we weave the storytelling power of hip hop with the healing nature of the 8 limbs to encourage students to redefine the stories around their bodies. As a result, our classes draw in diverse groups of non yogis who would normally be intimidated by traditional studios. Since our official launch in January 2017 classes have repeatedly sold out and we're excited to share the series with Be Luminous!
